Dudley Square for Nigerian and Sierra Leonean; the corner of Mass. Ave. and Washington St. for Senegalese
When I spoke with Sahr Josiah last October about his restaurant Bintimani, which serves food inspired by his native Sierra Leone, he said one day he might want to expand to a bigger space so he and his wife Baindu could do bigger things. But as he said it, he paused — they’re happy where they are for the moment, he said, because Roxbury’s Dudley Square is a hub for Africans living in Boston.
As such, there’s some excellent African food to be eaten there. In this crawl, the focus is on West African cuisine — in particular, that of Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Senegal.
Start with the Josiah’s spot, and then work your way toward Nigerian food down the street at Suya Joint before crossing into the South End for some Senegalese cuisine at Teranga.
Stats for this food crawl:
- Total stops: 3
- Whole fried fish consumed: 1
- Suya skewers snacked on: As many as you can take, because they’re incredible
- Bowls of goat stew slurped on: 1
